warm the body), Pranayama (expansive breathing practices), and at least 12 main classical Hatha yoga postures (asanas) that regulate all of the functions of the physical body as well as purify the Astral channels (Nadis) and balance one's life force (Prana). The yoga class environment provides an ideal situation for the transformational powers of meditation to take place, as well as a healing, deep relaxation that can restore health and well being.

All are welcome to attend. There are no levels in Bhaktivedanta Yoga classes because true progress is marked by a subtle inner spiritual process rather than just by greater flexibility or physical stamina. Being able to hold a posture steadily and comfortably and meditate within the pose is the truest evidence of advancement within Bhaktivedanta Yoga, not to mention greater awareness and the presence of spiritual virtues like peace, joy, patience, kindness, compassion, wisdom, discrimination, and love.

Yoga and Ayurveda is an adaptive and dynamic form of yoga that is a complete (Raja) approach to practice. Every class

includes 5 main components: postures, various breathing exercises, the art of relaxation, concentration techniques, and deep meditation.

There is a strong therapeutic aspect that includes a cleansing sweat, mind clearing through powerful breathing exercises and teaching the art of true relaxation. We fully embrace Hatha yoga and Raja yoga to give you a great experience every time.

As a transformational coach, I help provide the tools necessary to transcend into a more fulfilled life. Yoga is used

as a self assessment. What do we need in order to become more fulfilled? Sometimes its physically activating the body. My sessions incorporate my background in personal training. Sometimes to become fulfilled we need to connect to our higher selves, in which case meditation, reiki, body massage and other techniques are used. And other times it's conceptualizing our objectives. Work with me on this journey and discover your path to fulfillment.

in the Ashtanga Yoga practice in this comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training Program. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a highly effective method of Asana practice, which quickly builds strength, increases flexibility and clears toxins out of the body. This method includes numerous sequences of Asanas(yoga postures). Vinyasa (fluid movements, which are initiated by either the inhaling or exhaling breath) link one posture to another. The practice of Asana with Vinyasa stimulates the cardiovascular system and creates heat in the body, which eases the body into the Asanas. The Ashtanga Vinyasa practice removes impurities and strengthens the functions of the body and mind.

Caroline Klebl is a dedicated Yoga instructor, who learned the Ashtanga Vinyasa method over the course of 9 years from Sri K Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. She studied Ayurveda, Yoga Philosophy and Sanskrit in Kerala and Karnataka. Her Yoga Teacher Training is an internationally recognized certification course, which is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 200 and 500 hour level. This teacher training combines the high standards of practice, required by the Ashtanga Vinyasa System with the development of teaching skills necessary to introduce students to Ashtanga Yoga safely and effectively. This course is open to yoga teachers, aspiring teachers and yoga practitioners.

An Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Manual is supplied to each participant. To those who attend all scheduled classes, a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate is issued at the end of the course.

I have been interested in some sort of movement or performance based activity since I was a child. Beginning gymnastics

at a very young age, I progressed to dabble in many different forms throughout my life from dance of all kinds to show choir, drama, stage combat, stage movement, clowning, pilates and, finally, to yoga. It took me a while to find the style of yoga I really enjoyed, but when I did, I instantly fell in love!

I teach Vinyasa or Flow yoga which has it's basis in Hatha yoga. Vinyasa style literally flows from one pose to another focusing on breathing with the movement. I enjoy adding my own flare to my yoga sequences and encouraging a relaxed and positive atmosphere. My training background comes from YogaFit which also has it's own style of Vinyasa and it's own style of teaching. I received my 200 RYT from YogaFit.

I teach four classes a week at the Cresenta-Canada YMCA in La Canada/Flintridge CA., Sunday-10:00 A.M., Tuesday-7:30 P.M., and Thursday-6:00 P.M., and Saturday-9:00 A.M.
